If you had a mechanic do it most likely he used non OEM parts. These things dont like non oem electronics. Coils, alternators, starters usually fail 1-12 months after install. I would suggest having the coils tested, see if one if failing again. If so get some used oem coils if possible or buy oem new coils online and have them installed.
